ITunes music files in my Temp folder

So I have a full list of my music in c:\temp (cannot figure out how they got there) and the ones in My Documents\My Music\iTunes...
Where would I see where iTunes actually sees the files so I can delete the set in c:\temp. And if it is using the c:\temp how do I move them all back to the proper folder. Last time I did something like this the iPod on a sync became a total mess!

+"Where would I see where iTunes actually sees the files"+
Find the song in the iTunes library, right-click, "Show in Windows Explorer." That will show you the copy that iTunes is using. Any other copy is not needed.

How can I move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

Hello
I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
to another bigger partition on the same computer?
Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
Thanks Yves.

Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

How can I move all my music files in an specific folder to another

Hi
I am a iTunes for Windows user and I adore that program. From the beginning I have made my Library putting manually all my new music files in "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Musica" folder, and then from here I add it to my iTunes Library.
The problem I have now is that I want to change my folder destination for example to "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Música\iTunes\iTunes Music\" but the only way that I now is moving all files to that new folder and then creating a new ibrary but in that way I will lose all my counters and other thongs in the old ITL file. Also I could consolidate the library changing the folder but I don't like the way of iTunes to put the files with folders with artist and album I prefer to have all the music files in the same folder with any folder inside.
If anyone can tell me how can I do this or if there is any script o plugin for Windows to administrate this kind of moving, please answer me.
Thanks

Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

My iTune music files are all shown as WMA files

When I open iTunes, I was reminded that my default audio player was not iTunes. I previously did not want to use iTunes as default because I like to choose manually when I play audio files. But there have been a lot problems with my iTunes, I decided to use iTunes as default player. I changed the system setting to use iTunes as the default. But when I open up iTunes, I got that message. I clicked OK to choose iTunes as default player. The following warning tells me that I do not have the priviledge to do that.
Most odd is that all my music files in iTunes Music folder are all shown as WMA files. Even the files I used iTunes to rip from my CD are shown as WMA. I suspect the Gates company somehow tweeked the XP not accepting iTunes as default player to frustrate less-a-computer-geeks like me.
There is one more problem. The iTunes Music File folder is all messed up. Songs of the same album get spread out in different subfolders. Many songs of the same album show up in iTunes as individual albums in the coverflow view. It seems that I can't download any album art from iTunes.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well if you have songs from the same album that are not being listed together in itunes theres one or the other happening and it depends on if all the songs are from the same artist or different artist
Same Artist
Lets say for example you have one album from....Madonna. So all tracks on the album are from the same artist. If these songs are not listing/grouped together something is wrong with the songs tags. The tags have to be EXACTLY the same on all tracks/songs of the album. You do this by rightclicking the song and hitting "Get Info"
Different artist
This is known as a compliation album, usually soundtracks and dance mix albums where you have one album and each song is by a different artist. In this case you need to highlight all tracks that are apart of the album THEN rightclick and hit "Get Info". At the bottom select "Yes" under compilation and hit OK, this will group all songs under the same album

Locking the itunes music file?

I have just spent several days sorting out my music files, and I think I have fianlly got it OK now.
My question is this..
In order to avoid screwing up the folder I now have on my external Hard Drive, is it possible for me to lock that folder, and therefore keep it "safe"?
During this whole process of sorting things out, I have made some real rookie errors in how I copied files to different locations, and as a result there are itunes music files and folders all over my computer. I am hoping to secure the "good" folder and then delete all the rest of these files and folders.
How about if I simply reboot without the external HD plugged in?
Ideas anyone?
Thanks
Bart

Was I suppose to click on the "music" folder that was already in the itunes folder, or click on the "music" folder on the external drive that I thought I already copied to Itunes music. I clicked on the folder already in itunes and all it did was give me duplicates of the songs in my libary and theres some that still aren't being found.

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I have two different itunes music files on my computer. How do I combine them into one file?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

Is there a resource fork with iTunes music files?

I want to put a few iTunes music files on an SD card and plug it into my Panasonic TV for sort of instant access.
It worked and sounded OK, except I get two files on the SD card for every file in iTunes (the second one isn't recognized).
I seem to remember this was an issue with JPG image files and people used GraphicsConverter to remove the resource fork.
Is that the problem I'm having - the resource fork showing up as an unreadable file?
Is there a way to remove it? GC won't.
Or is it something else?
Thanks, HNick

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, they aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music loaded?

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, the music files aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music transferred?

Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

I am trying to stream music from my iMac using iTunes music files to my Cocktail Audio X10 music streamer. I have allowed my files to be shared the X10 sees the files but when I try to accsess them it gives me the message files not mounted. Please help?

No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

Error in reading downloaded iTunes music file

I have downloaded an iTunes music file. After playing for 30sec it blocks and iTunes goes to the next track (the official duration is more than 2min)
Is there a way I can re-download the file?
Thanks

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
